Re: Jaws and the Login Screen

He just turns it off when he gets on as he doesn't need it.  When he goes to 
switch user, shouldn't it come on again?  How do I get it to turn on?  There is 
no screen saver on and I have the monitor turned off when I use the computer.

  to the best of my knowledge you can either have JAWS on or off, but can't 
have JAWS running on two accounts (in regards to the log on screen). as in, you 
could have JAWS running if this other user didn't mind having it running, but 
if they did you're messed. the log on screen is pretty self-explanatory 
though... when you log on you're always in the username box, and then all you'd 
have to do is type in your username, tab for password type it in, and then hit 
enter and you should be in. if you put JAWS in your start-up when you log in it 
will start up automatically. does this make sense?

    Hi, Everyone,

    I am having a problem with speech on the login screen.  There are 2 users 
and we each have a password.  I am the only one using Jaws as he turns it off 
when logged on.  When we go to the login screen to switch members, if I want to 
get on, there is no speech whatsoever and I have no way to tell where I am.  
Even when you use the keystroke to bring it back, it won't work.  I have to 
have someone place the cursor on my password and then type it in.  Then I have 
to turn Jaws on again.  Is this supposed to be this way or can it be changed?

    I have a Dell Demension310 and Windows XP Home Edition with Jaws 6.0.

    Thank you for anything you can come up with to solve this problem.

    Katherine
